Ted's Remedies
I am struggling along with my 7 week old daughter to get rid of nipple-yeast in me/thrush in her. I plan on cutting out as much sugar as possible and caffeine and have been giving Acidophilus to both of us, but would like more safe methods to try while nursing. My main concern is how natural remedies may affect my breastmilk. We have also been using Nystatin, but this only seems to work temporarily and if I don't use it constantly(every couple hours), the yeast acts up and I have sore nipples again and my daughter's thrush returns fully. Help, I'm desperate. Seeking a cure.
Dear Crystal: You need a relatively mild remedy so that the milk won't effect the baby adversely, which needs a bit of of modification for treatment of yeast thrush in general. However, for most nursing mothers, they will often need vitamin D3 at least 1500 i.u. to 2500 i.u. per day being a resonable dose. Since vitamin D is generally causes high serum calcium, some magnesium supplements well balance out the calcium and magnesium ratio.
